Frequently Asked Questions

22

All Emissions from Stationary/Portable Sources  Permitted  Non-Permitted

What Emissions Should I Report?

23  Do Not Report:  On-Road and Off-Road Motor Vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, fork lifts, construction equipment)  State-Registered Portable Equipment  Architectural Coatings (R1113: buildings, pavement, curb – if used in manufacturing not exempt-have to be reported)  Utility Equipment (e.g., lawn mowers)  Clean Air Solvents  Non-combustion charbroilers and deep fat fryers operated by restaurants and eatery establishments directly servicing consumers  Do Not Report as VOC: Exempt Materials per Rule 102 (e.g., acetone, ethane)

 Here are steps to follow:

• Send an image of Fee Summary to SCAQMD Billing Services at

billingservices@aqmd.gov and inquire about an invoice for emission

fees

• Billing services will generate an invoice and return information

back to you

• Upon received Invoice Number, user can pay fees on-line at:

AER Reporting Procedure

 “Device” Level Reporting [Device = Emission Source (ES)]

• Example 1: A permitted unit (one Application Number) consisting of a dryer and a

printing press = 2 devices (2 ES)

• Example 2: A non-permitted boiler = 1 device (1 ES)

 Permit Profile Preloaded for Each Facility

• If device is not available in the AQMD database, the user must add the device

(ES) with emissions

31

The main sections have to be completed in the following order:

• 1. Facility Information
• 2. Build Reporting Structure
• 3. Report Process/Emissions
• 4. Data Validation and Summaries
• 5. Report Submission

Main Sections

32  External Combustion

• Boilers, ovens, dryers, heaters, furnaces, space heaters, afterburners, kilns,

incinerator, flares

 Internal Combustion

• Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs), turbines, micro turbines, engine test cells

 Spray Coating/ Spray Booth

• Spray coating (open and spray booth)

 Other Use of Organics

• Use of organics except in spray coating (e.g., coating, printing, adhesive

application,…)

Emission Source Classifications

33  Storage Tanks

• Storage tank and dispensing, small above and underground tanks (<10,000

gallons), tanks imported from EPA TANKS Program

 Fugitive Components

• Applicable only if reporting fugitive emissions per R1173 and R1176 (e.g.,

valves, flanges, connectors,…)

 Other Processes

• All Processes not specifically addressed by other worksheets

 Process Upset

• Applicable for non-routine operations such as Upsets, Break-downs, Start-

ups, Shut-downs, Turn-around and Spills

Emission Source Classifications

34

Process/Emissions Data Entry

Data must be completed in the following specific order:

1) Identify Process 2) Enter Throughput 3) Select Pollutant and Enter Emission Factors

35

 Import Last Year data from Home Page  Based on ES classification, at least one process is generated,  User can add processes for multiple component devices,  Ability to classify permitted and non-permitted emission sources,  Intuitive in converting and displaying combustion fuel throughputs,  All emissions (Criteria, TAC/ODC and optional GHGs) are displayed on the same screen,  Built-in parameters for unique emission calculation methodologies,
